One literary movie that did surprisingly poorly at the Oscars was ‘American Sniper’ and this week we have chosen it to be our eBook of the week!Loved and hated, the film was accused of going too far in glorifying the central character and his actions. Those problems aren’t exactly absent in ‘American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in US Military History’, our Book of the Week, but it does offer a far more objective viewpoint. Written by former sniper Chris Kyle, the book recounts ten years of service in the Navy Seals and the career highs and emotional lows they entailed.Whether you think Kyle is a hero or a villain there’s something for you here, as Kyle’s own account of his actions unravels in an exciting and frankly honest narrative with a lot to say about war, soldiers, and America’s role as the greatest military power on Earth. This is made more poignant after Chris Kyle’s murder by another Iraq war veteran, Eddie Ray Routh, in February this year. This week Routh was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Game of Thrones author George R R Martin doesn't shy away from the media and isn't afraid to ruffle the feathers of his dedicated fan base - and this week he's done it again. He's warned fans of the books that they might not be happy with the newest series of the TV adaptation.

20th Century Fox has closed a deal with director Neill Blomkamp to develop a new “Alien” movie, sources confirm.

The untitled sci-fi project is separate from “Prometheus 2,” which Fox is still making with Ridley Scott.

Blomkamp, who directed “District 9″ and the upcoming Sony feature “Chappie,” had been teasing the project in recent months but said the extra-terrestrial reboot was likely abandoned. It was supposed to star “Alien” veteran Sigourney Weaver.

But on Wednesday Blomkamp confirmed the tentpole was back on track at Fox.

“So I think this is officially my next film,” he confirmed on Instagram.It’s unclear whether Weaver is still attached to the movie.

According to insiders, the new “Alien” takes place years after the “Prometheus” sequel. Scott is producing both films through his production company Scott Free.

“Prometheus,” also distributed by Fox, was “loosely based” on the “Alien” franchise and earned over $400 million worldwide. But the 3D movie opened to mixed reviews, and Fox hopes Blomkamp, who last directed “Elysium,” can take the franchise to the next level.

New best friends’ Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran revealed this week that they hid from the police at a raucous after-party for the Grammys. The police were called to Mark Ronson’s hotel room where over 40 guests were having a noisy time. Taylor and Ed hid in the bathroom, before making a hurried exit. “It made us feel so cool,” said Taylor after the event!! Gosh, so rock’n’roll…… Taylor was also named the IFPI Global Recording Artist of 2014. Physical sales, downloading and streaming are taken into consideration, even though she has withdrawn her music from Spotify. Her ‘1989’ album has sold nearly 9 million copies to date. The same organisation, the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) named One Direction as the biggest British act in the world, for the third year in a row. Simon must be so proud - kerching, kerching!

Frozen Fever Promo Shivers On To The Web It's party time in Arendelle!

Given Frozen’s huge success at the box office, and the movie’s pop culture phenomenon status around a particular song (we won’t say the title here, just in case you’re worried about earworm syndrome), it was natural that Disney would look to keep the chilly bandwagon rolling. Initially there was chatter about a sequel – which may one day show up – but for now, a short follow-up, Frozen Fever, will have to suffice. Check out the trailer for the new footage.
